This exception occurs when you try to raise an event through an EventSource
that hasnt been able to get its configuration.

Depending on the setting of the internalExceptionHandler attribute for that
EventSource in the EI.config file, the exception is either
   'ignore' = caught, but a perf counter is increased to report the error
   'report' = caught, but an error is written out to the Windows Event Log
   'throw' = not caught and throws back into the code calling
EventSource.Raise()
Note: throw is treated as 'report' when the EI.config's mode='released' (as
opposed to 'debug')

How you got in this state is not so clear.

I would look at the Application log in the Windows Event Log and confirm
that the application is successfully loading the EI.config file.
I would also then look at this EI.config file and confirm that there is an
<eventSource> entry for 'Jxchange.ThirdParty'

Another difference when the EI.config mode='debug', missing <eventSource>
entries will automatically be added into the EI.config file. Perhaps you
are depending on this functionality but the mode is set to 'released'.

Hope some of this helps

Mike
